For the past couple of weeks, I’ve discussed things that I feel are wimpy about sports. It started with ties in the World Cup, and most recently helmet head-butting on bicycles in the Tour de France. But I think I’ve found something that may never be topped. Wind delays at golf’s British Open. Yeah, I watching the second round of the Open at St. Andrews when I hear the air horn. Officials start walking around the course
informing the players of whats going on. And this wasn’t rain or
lighting that would force the players off the course for safety, the is
was delay the literally caused people to just sit down on the course.

It’s a sad day for Ride The Pine as softball icon Jennie Finch said she will retire next month. I remember in high school, hanging

Great ready for Brett Favre’s name to be thrown around ESPN's SportsCenter about hundred times a day as the saga starts back up, after Vikings head coach Brad Childress visited Favre in Mississippi. Brett, everyone knows you are coming back lets not make a big spectacle of it this year, please.

And here’s a couple of things to check out while you are on the pine...

Will Floyd Mayweather ever man up and fight Manny Pacquiao.
It seems Pacquiao is willing to do anything Mayweather requests, but it
seems Mayweather is nervous about losing the undefeated record. Will
guess what Floyd, if you don’t take this fight your underfeated record
will mean NOTHING.
